What is the Consumer Information Statement (CIS) in Delaware?

The CIS must be signed before signing an Agreement of Sale, Listing Agreement, or Exclusive Buyer Agency Agreement.
How does Delaware's transfer tax work?
Delaware imposes a total transfer tax of 4% of the sale price, consisting of a 2% state tax and a 2% county/city (local) tax. By custom, the transfer tax is split equally between the buyer and the seller (each paying 2%). For example, on a $350,000 sale, the total transfer tax would be $14,000 ($7,000 from each party). Certain transactions, such as transfers between family members, may be exempt.
